Moore, a Republican candidate for president, was thrown from a horse while riding on his farm near Gadsden in Etowah County, according to Rich Hobson executive director for the Foundation for Moral Law.

Moore, 64, is president of the Montgomery-based foundation.

Hobson said several of Moore's ribs were broken or cracked. He said Moore was recovering at home and expected to get back on the horse - and the campaign trail - as soon as possible.

Riley, 66, suffered broken ribs, a broken collarbone and a punctured lung when he lost control of his motorcycle on a highway north of Fairbanks on Sunday.

Riley was listed in fair condition at Fairbanks Memorial Hospital on Wednesday. Dave Stewart, his former chief of staff, said Riley was in good spirits and continuing to recover.
